You do know the modern 31st anniversary gift is time pieces. They probably were thinking watches and clocks...and here you go putting your own spin on what a "time piece" could be: The pictures that captured pieces of another time.

Love the wallpaper...and how you Mom thoughtfully had a batch of cookies in the birthday picture as well. You were baking them for T., right?

Wonder how many cookie batches have been served up over the years.Maybe you should have put a notch on your stove for each one!

You have an anniversary and a b-day in the same week. We have valentine's and a b-day in the same week - and a wedding anniversary and Christmas in the same week - we should have planned those celebrations a little better eh?
